Book, Paragraph

  1      I, II  |       the exercise of mind is by nature intended to be lord and
  2      I, II  |   foresight is a subject, and by nature a slave; hence master and
  3      I, II  |      have the same interest. Now nature has distinguished between
  4      I, II  |  barbarian and the slave were by nature one.~Out of these two relationships
  5      I, II  |       association established by nature for the supply of men’s
  6      I, II  |         the end of them, and the nature of a thing is its end. For
  7      I, II  |     fully developed, we call its nature, whether we are speaking
  8      I, II  |       the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature
  9      I, II  |       nature, and that man is by nature a political animal. And
 10      I, II  |  political animal. And he who by nature and not by mere accident
 11      I, II  |   gregarious animals is evident. Nature, as we often say, makes
 12      I, II  |         other animals (for their nature attains to the perception
 13      I, II  |         Further, the state is by nature clearly prior to the family
 14      I, II  |       the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual
 15      I, II  |          implanted in all men by nature, and yet he who first founded
 16      I, III |        principal part of it; the nature of this art will also have
 17      I, III |       over slaves is contrary to nature, and that the distinction
 18      I, III |          by law only, and not by nature; and being an interference
 19      I, III |       being an interference with nature is therefore unjust.~
 20      I, IV  |         Hence we see what is the nature and office of a slave; he
 21      I, IV  |         of a slave; he who is by nature not his own but another’
 22      I, IV  |         but another’s man, is by nature a slave; and he may be said
 23      I, V   |         any one thus intended by nature to be a slave, and for whom
 24      I, V   |       all slavery a violation of nature?~There is no difficulty
 25      I, V   |         these two, the one is by nature the ruler, and the other
 26      I, V   |       look for the intentions of nature in things which retain their
 27      I, V   |        things which retain their nature, and not in things which
 28      I, V   |       tame animals have a better nature than wild, and all tame
 29      I, V   | preserved. Again, the male is by nature superior, and the female
 30      I, V   |            the lower sort are by nature slaves, and it is better
 31      I, V   |         principle, is a slave by nature. Whereas the lower animals
 32      I, V   |   minister to the needs of life. Nature would like to distinguish
 33      I, V   |       then, that some men are by nature free, and others slaves,
 34      I, VI  |     slavery by law as well as by nature. The law of which I speak
 35      I, VI  |        springs. But this is what nature, though she may intend it,
 36      I, VI  |         are not either slaves by nature or freemen by nature, and
 37      I, VI  |          by nature or freemen by nature, and also that there is
 38      I, VI  |     authority and lordship which nature intended them to have. The
 39      I, VII |         over subjects who are by nature free, another over subjects
 40      I, VII |         over subjects who are by nature slaves. The rule of a household
 41      I, VIII|       are determined for them by nature in such a manner that they
 42      I, VIII| livelihood, seems to be given by nature herself to all, both when
 43      I, VIII|      various instruments. Now if nature makes nothing incomplete,
 44      I, VIII|          who, though intended by nature to be governed, will not
 45      I, VIII|       there is one kind which by nature is a part of the management
 46      I, IX  |    already described is given by nature, the other is gained by
 47      I, IX  |       art and is not contrary to nature, but is needed for the satisfaction
 48      I, IX  |          in a manner contrary to nature. The quality of courage,
 49      I, X   |         men, but takes them from nature and uses them, so too nature
 50      I, X   |     nature and uses them, so too nature provides them with earth
 51      I, X   |        to order the things which nature supplies; he may be compared
 52      I, X   |        be provided beforehand by nature; for the business of nature
 53      I, X   |      nature; for the business of nature is to furnish food to that
 54      I, XII |       exceptions to the order of nature, the male is by nature fitter
 55      I, XII |        of nature, the male is by nature fitter for command than
 56      I, XIII|          virtues. For if a noble nature is equally required in both,
 57      I, XIII|       and are ruled according to nature. But the kind of rule differs;
 58      I, XIII|      whereas the slave exists by nature, not so the shoemaker or
 59     II, II  |        longer a state? since the nature of a state is to be a plurality,
 60     II, II  |    evident that a city is not by nature one in that sense which
 61     II, V   |        is a feeling implanted by nature and not given in vain, although
 62     II, V   |          the wickedness of human nature. Indeed, we see that there
 63     II, VII |    without end; for it is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied,
 64     II, VIII|        adept in the knowledge of nature, was the first person not
 65     II, IX  |         result proves the faulty nature of their laws respecting
 66     II, X   |          seems to be intended by nature for dominion in Hellas,
 67    III, VI  |         a master, that man is by nature a political animal. And
 68    III, VI  |    master, although the slave by nature and the master by nature
 69    III, VI  |         nature and the master by nature have in reality the same
 70    III, VIII|        little more at length the nature of each of them. For he
 71    III, XIII|         seems to be the order of nature, and that men like him should
 72    III, XIV |          Such royalties have the nature of tyrannies because the
 73    III, XIV |        because the people are by nature slaves; but there is no
 74    III, XV  |         too much to ask of human nature. There is also a difficulty
 75    III, XVI |          to be quite contrary to nature; it is argued that those
 76    III, XVI |     argued that those who are by nature equals must have the same
 77    III, XVII|          others? for there is by nature both a justice and an advantage
 78    III, XVII|      come into being contrary to nature. Now, to judge at least
 79    III, XVII|  government.~A people who are by nature capable of producing a race
 80     IV, I   |       must suit that which is by nature best and best furnished
 81     IV, IV  |         the name be of a slavish nature? The state is independent
 82     IV, VIII|         government; of which the nature will be clearer now that
 83     IV, IX  |         should be organized. The nature of it will be at once understood
 84     IV, X   |                         X~Of the nature of tyranny I have still
 85     IV, XI  |         exceptionally favored by nature and circumstances, nor yet
 86     IV, XV  |    evident when we determine the nature of their powers. By powers
 87      V, I   |    states, how many, and of what nature they are; what modes of
 88      V, III |         preserved; but loses its nature if the foot be four cubits
 89      V, VII |        gradual and imperceptible nature. The citizens begin by giving
 90      V, X   |         For royal rule is of the nature of an aristocracy, and a
 91      V, XI  |         principle of action. The nature of this latter method may
 92      V, XII |        solid); he conceives that nature at certain times produces
 93     VI, I   |    better or worse, but its very nature is changed. A second cause (
 94     VI, VIII|     offices, their number, their nature, their duties, of which
 95     VI, VIII|         other concerns of a like nature. This is commonly called
 96    VII, I   |      things useful are of such a nature that where there is too
 97    VII, I   |         and by reason of his own nature. And herein of necessity
 98    VII, I   |     state have the same form and nature as the qualities which give
 99    VII, III |      there is between slavery by nature and freedom by nature, about
100    VII, III |         by nature and freedom by nature, about which I have said
101    VII, III |         are like, is contrary to nature, and nothing which is contrary
102    VII, III |     nothing which is contrary to nature is good. If, therefore,
103    VII, IV  |         either wholly lose their nature, or are spoiled. For example,
104    VII, VII |          them are of a one-sided nature, and are intelligent or
105    VII, VII |          spirit is not fierce by nature, but only when excited against
106    VII, VII |     state, and also the size and nature of their territory. I say "
107    VII, IX  |          the order prescribed by nature, who has given to young
108    VII, X   |         should be the extent and nature of the territory. Let me
109    VII, X   |           and of a like inferior nature; some of them should be
110    VII, XIII|        not always understand the nature of health, and also the
111    VII, XIII|       some accident or defect of nature, the attainment of them
112    VII, XIII|       must clearly ascertain the nature of happiness.~We maintain,
113    VII, XIII|          and virtuous; these are nature, habit, rational principle.
114    VII, XIII|          are some gifts which by nature are made to be turned by
115    VII, XIII|          the most part a life of nature, although in lesser particulars
116    VII, XIII|          and man only. Wherefore nature, habit, rational principle
117    VII, XIII|         things against habit and nature, if rational principle persuades
118    VII, XIV |          been already mentioned. Nature herself has provided the
119    VII, XIV |         for in the world both of nature and of art the inferior
120    VII, XV  |          already determined that nature and habit and rational principle
121    VII, XV  |        and, of these, the proper nature of the citizens has also
122    VII, XV  |        are the end towards which nature strives, so that the birth
123    VII, XVII|          wrapper only. For human nature should be early habituated
124    VII, XVII|       divisions actually made by nature; for the deficiencies of
125    VII, XVII|          for the deficiencies of nature are what art and education
126   VIII, II  |        different ideas about the nature of virtue, naturally disagree
127   VIII, III |   included in education, because nature herself, as has been often
128   VIII, V   |        not easy to determine the nature of music, or why any one
129   VIII, V   |        and seems to share in the nature of all of them. Amusement
130   VIII, VII |        fear, and every emotional nature, must have a like experience,
131   VIII, VII |        and fell back by the very nature of things into the more
132   VIII, VII |       the high-strung modes, and nature herself seems to suggest
